3) Creating the 3D view of the AASTHO Type Girder:
Aim:
To create a 3d model of AASTHO type girder using AutoCAD 3d.
Procedure:
Step 1:
Click on front view.Use UCS command and make the x and y axis in the front view plane
Step 2:
Then by line command draw the I section with the given dimension.Command 'L”, draw a line of 1' that is the top width of the girder.
With the line draw a 6" downwards.With snap on draw a line from the center of 1' and offset 3" on both sides such that the width of web becomes 6".
Step 3:
Give a taper distance and join the web and the flange.Mirror the same on the other side
The web is given a height of 1'6", offset the distance 1'6"from the end of tapering of the flange portion (1').Delete the center line drawn for the offset and also trim off the extra lines in flange.
Step 4:
Extend the web to the offsite line.Again offset 6" from the last line and taper the sides.Mirror the tapered portion to the other side.The sides should be tapered such that the bottom should be 1'6", draw a center line and offset 9" on both sides, then join the taper.
Step 5:
Offset 6" downwards from the bottom horizontal line to define the height.To draw the taper at bottom 1'4”, from the Centre draw a line and offset 8" on both sides.
Step 6:Extend the 6" offsite line and trim the rest of lines.Draw the vertical line downwards and the tapering also.
Step 7:
With 3d orbit turn the view and draw a line of 10' in z direction.Click on sweep from the home toolbar and select the section and, then the path through which the section to be swept i.e., the line.
Result:
The 3D model of the AASTHO girder is drawn:
4).
3D MODEL OF A DROP COLUMN WITH PANEL
Aim: To draw the 3d model of a drop column with panel section and show its isometric view.
Procedure:
Step 1:
Create a circle of diameter 1'6” in the top view.
Step 2:
Create a region-by-region command and select the rectangle.Extrude it with extrude in home toolbar and give a distance of 10'.
Step 3:
Create a cone by clicking on cone from the home toolbar.Click on diameter and give the base diameter as 1'6".
Step 4:
Click on top radius and give the value as 1'6" and give the height of the cone as 1".
Step 5:
Place the frustum of cone on top of the extruded circle i.e. the column in the front view, with snap option place such that the center of two objects coincide ,also place the center of frustum with center of column in the top view.
Step 6: In top view, create a rectangle of dimension 4'6" x4'6".Extrude it to a height of 6".
Step 7:
In the top view, place the rectangle at the center of cone and also adjust in the front view or give move command and give the coordinate as 0,10',0 as the rectangle is at bottom in the front view.
3D view
Result:
The 3d model of a drop column with panel has been drawn section and isometric view is also shown:
5) 3D MODEL OF WALL
Aim: To draw a 3d model of wall.
Procedure
Step 1:
Draw a rectangle of 10' x 9".Create a line in the center and offset 1.5" on both sides as 3" is the width of door opening.
Step 2:
Use the command "BO" for boundary and create the region i.e., both the region on either side of the door opening.
Step 3: Extrude the region to a height of 12'6" total height.
Step 4:Create a rectangle in place of door in the top view.Move the rectangle in z axis at a height of 7' from the bottom.
Step 5: go to front view and draw a line from the center of the moved line of door. Draw slanting line from the total height from the center line intersecting the edge.
Step 6: Mirror the line to the other side.Draw the horizontal line to join.
Step 7: trim off the excess line and the center line and join the triangle with join command.Create a region with region command in the triangle created.
Step 8: Select the extruded rectangle and with the help of grip bring it down to the level of the triangle base on both sided.Extrude the rectangle of door to a height equal to base of triangle.
Result: 3d model of wall is drawn.
RESULT:
- 3d model of furniture element is created.
- 3d model of isolated footing is created.
- 3d model of AASTHO type girder is created.
- Drop column with panel 3d model is created.
- 3d model of wall is created.
